Klebsiella pneumoniae strain SIKP127 136_NODE_80

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain SIKP127 136_NODE_80 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, functioning as a chemoheterotroph. This strain is characterized by its ability to form chains, pairs, and singles, and possesses flagella, contributing to its mobility. It thrives optimally at 37°C, marking it as mesophilic in nature. This strain is notable for its extensive range of hosts, including Homo sapiens and various animals such as Gallus gallus (chickens), Sus scrofa (pigs), and Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dogs), as well as some plant species (Viridiplantae). The presence of this bacterium in diverse biotic relationships suggests its significant role in various ecological niches. Klebsiella pneumoniae is well-documented for its pathogenicity in humans, associated with a range of serious health effects, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sepsis. Its ability to cause infections such as pyogenic liver abscesses and neonatal sepsis highlights its potential to impact human health significantly. In conclusion, the ecological versatility of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain SIKP127, alongside its pathogenic traits, underscores the importance of monitoring this bacterium in both clinical and environmental contexts. Understanding its interactions with a wide array of hosts can provide insights into its transmission dynamics and potential control measures in healthcare settings.
